Our family loves you so much. We are locals who enjoy eating here before events at UT. Now that our daughter is a UT student, we loved making Carillon a part of her ring ceremony celebration. Date nights are such a treat here because it’s an elevated meal at a reasonable price (3 courses for $45! . One of the things I love most about Carillon is the ambiance. It’s a beautiful space, with high ceilings with very low noise. It’s a quiet place for great dinner conversation and the service is attentive without being intrusive. Love this campus gem!

Food, service and wine selection and cocktails top notch, and prices are very reasonable. 3 course meal special $45, excellent choices available in the special. Even without special, great price for the quality. Definitely a must in Austin. Upscale atmosphere.

The staff was incredible and personable with flowers on our table for my birthday and the food was beyond. The culinary staff here deserve a ton of recognition and if you haven’t been here or are onthe fence, go! You absolutely won’t regret it. From the cheese and meat board to the hamachi starter and then the NY Strip andTexas lamb shank… I could go on for days!!! Kudos to this team!!! I’ll be dreaming of this meal forever!

Behind the MBA building you’ll find The Carillon which specializes in contemporary American fare. They offer a 3 course meal for $45 with your choice of starter, main, anddessert. I got 2 selections from each category such as: Starters: Berkwood Farms Pork Belly $14): you get an array offlavors from the refreshing herbal Japanese cucumber to the sweet and tart flavors from their pineapple butter, to the richfatty flavor of the pork! 4.5/5) Baby Iceberg Wedge $9): nothing particularly different about this, but it does have bigchunks of bacon and cornbread crumbs on top which made it fun. 3/5) Mains: Georges Bank Scallops $42): comes with sweetpotato, asian pear, pureed sweet potato, and leek butter. One of the more fun takes on scallops I’ve had! 3.25/5) MarfaMeats N.Y. Strip $46): comes with potatoes, broccolini, and bordelaise a sauce made up of red wine, bone marrow, butter, etc.)which was tasty! This deep, rich sauce paired with the chewy beef made for a great combination. 4/5) Desserts: Chocolate onChocolate $9): a dense, dark chocolate taste with a nice slight crunch on the inside with kicks of sweet raspberry. 4/5) Espresso Chocolate Tart $9): if you’re looking for something more on the coffee side of things, then you’ll like this. Washoping the tart would have been a bit more soft however. 3.25/5) Drinks: Suntory’s 6 $13): gin cocktail with raspberrywith hints of bright, bitter, and sweet notes. 3.5/5) The French Mule $12): vodka cocktail with lime and ginger beer withhints of bubbly, sour, and refreshing notes. 3.5/5) The 3 course meal is a no brainer because if you bought all this food a lacarte, you would have spent $129 vs just $90. If you live near by, it’s not a bad spot to go on a date or to celebrate aspecial occasion like graduation. I may have liked some items more than others, but nothing here was bad, so they did a go
